TS server in child domain cannot obtain licenses from parent domai

Parent domain has Windows Server 2003 server std edition.
Child domain 1 has Windows Server 2003 std
Child domain 2 has Windows Server 2003 std 64 bit

Not sure if this is a problem with the cal's, or the server(s). We have a
license server sitting in a parent domain, and two different child domains
with terminal servers. The temporary licenses were handed out, but after
adding the cals over a month ago, they are still not being distributed. I
can see the Windows Server 2003 TS per user cal's from the console. When
opening the licensing console from one of the child servers, the server is
discovered, but the activation status is unknown.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Re: TS server in child domain cannot obtain licenses from parent domai

Hi,

From your description it sounds as though you have
purchased Per User TS CALs. This means that your
TS servers should be in Per User licensing mode.

Please logon to your terminal servers and make sure they
are set to Per User licensing mode in Terminal Services
Configuration (tscc.msc).

After you have completed the above you should be
fine. Please note that Per User TS CALs will not be
issued because they are unmanaged. Windows Server
2008 will add the ability to generate reports on Per User
TS CAL usage.
